"The King, dead drunk and much dishevelled, is carried to bed by three fat and tipsy peeresses, wearing coronets; the foremost, who supports his legs, probably Lady Conyngham (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13847), says: "I'm as great as the Queen." The other two, one flourishing a candle, the other a full glass, sing: "We'll drown her in the bowl the bowl" [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12181]. Behind them is a table with decanters and a melon; a bottle is in the King's chair; broken bottles lie on the floor. On the right is the bed; in a chamber-pot are papers: 'The Queens Affair' and 'State Papers'."--British Museum online catalogue

A view of wartime merriment: A procession of sailors and their women, escorted by fiddlers, passes a background of shops towards a gateway across the end of the street (left). The purveyor of the jollification, a sailor who has inherited money, sits astride a cask of 'real Jamaica' supported on poles carried by sailors, who wave hat and tankard towards the crowded first-floor windows. Men and women dance along the street. There are many incidents. A Jew, talking to another Jew outside a shop placarded 'Moses Slop-Shop', has his hat twitched off by the cane of a sailor who leans from above the doorway. The sailors carry an Ensign flag and a flag inscribed 'Leander, and are making for the Point

"Three revellers sit at a small round table on which is a large punch-bowl, each holding a full glass. A fat man in an arm-chair (right), full-face, each gouty bandaged leg supported on a stool, his left hand bandaged, and wearing a dressing-gown, with jovially contorted features, declaims the first part of the title. His neighbour, a young woman with her hand clasping her waist, declaims the second part. A wretched invalid (left), with stick-like limbs, looking on the verge of the grave, repeats the last part. The words, inscribed in scrolls, form the only title. They are the words of an old catch which continues: 'And is by all agreed the very best of physic' A patterned carpet, and cast shadows on a plain wall, complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue, description of the print of which this is a copy
